Measuring advice

Take your actual body measurements as they are more accurate than measuring over your clothes.

1. Height:

No shoes, feet together flat on the floor, measure from the top of the head to the ground.

2. Neck:

Measure around the base of the neck where the collar touches the skin.

Reviews

favourite style
Have always bought this style and have never had any problems with them.

Dreadful!!
These pants are enormous! If I wanted full briefs I would buy full briefs, not midis.
To say these pants provide "full bottom coverage" is misleading. They are incredibly loose around the legs, as if there is no elastic in that area, giving the sensation of the pants falling down.
Don't bother.

Reliable favourites.
These knickers are a staple and have been for years.
I have sensitive skin and cannot tolerate lace, frills or polyester fabrics.
They fit well and are comfortable. They wash and tumble dry without a problem.
My only complaint is that I would like to see packs of 5 which come in other basic plain colours - cream, grey, navy etc to go with bra colours.

Lovely comfy well fitting knickers which have never failed to please. They launder well and do not fall apart with repeated washing. It would be really nice if other colours/patterns could be offered in this style and size by M & S as I am sure they would be popular - fingers crossed? Well done M&S anothr excellent product.

Good value
I took advantage of a 20% off offer on lingerie to stock up on these knickers, which are ones I regularly buy. They're excellent value (even at the full price), comfortable, fit nicely and wear well, though the white ones do tend to turn greyish after countless washings. They aren't glamorous or sexy but if you're looking for nice reliable ordinary knickers these are absolutely fine.
